PrestaShop is proud to release the newest version of our software, PrestaShop 1.7.3. This important version includes a big number of new features and fixes.

Here’s what you can expect:

PrestaTrust: This innovative feature authenticates the code of PrestaTrust-enabled modules and safely keeps track of license information in the blockchain.
Right-To-Left support: PrestaShop is now friendly with languages written from right-to-left (RTL). This is extremely important for selling in countries who speak in RTL languages like Arabic, Hebrew or Persian.
A new set of Demo products, which will give PrestaShop a fresh and modern face
UI Kit: A new graphic identity for the core… and modules! The UI kit brings a coherent set of reusable components that work the same across the back office, as well as Bootstrap 4 and jQuery 3.
Symfony migration: Three new pages have been migrated to symfony, bringing new components and exciting features for module developers!

…and many smaller features and handy fixes like:

Set shipping delivery times and be compliant with European law.
Make PrestaShop send you alerts when a product is low on stock.
Perform bulk editions in stocks.
Icelandic localization and Installer in Japanese

When moving a PrestaShop site via FTP that includes attachments, they can become corrupted in the new server. The most common reason for this problem is because file transfer is not correctly switched by the FTP client to binary, and it does the upload in ASCII mode, resulting in corrupted data, as it’s actually binary. To avoid this problem just manually switch to Binary.

Code Better
We have integrated the Symfony framework into 1.7 to help all developers who work with PrestaShop. Using a popular Open-Source framework will enable you to code with greater efficiency and profit from the stability of a globally recognized framework.

Create Easier
We have introduced a new starter theme for designers and front-end developers. Free from any markups or custom style, this new starter theme will enable you to build amazing templates in no time.

Sell Faster
We have completely redesigned both the product and modules pages to help every merchant save time in their daily management. We’ve also revamped the product check-out process which will improve the experience for your shoppers. By simplifying the front and back-office, you can sell more products faster t han ever.

Version 1.7 has valuable innovations for merchants, developers and theme designers alike. I invite you to discover more about this exciting new release.
